This postseason has seen its share of blowouts, as clubs coming off a loss of 20 points or more own a 5-10 SU and 6-9 ATS record. However, home underdog have gone 3-2 SU/ATS, including Oklahoma City’s Game 3 victory over Golden State in the Western Conference Finals in this situation. Last postseason, road teams leading a series 3-2 posted a perfect 6-0 SU/ATS record in Game 6, while that scenario has come up only once in the 2016 playoffs as the Raptors lost at Indiana in Game 6 of the first round trying to advance.
